(The image with the maria cristina cross, without lys flower in the ecusson, bears, clearly, the Mural crown and the violet stripe on the ribbon that makes it as correspondent to a "Republicanized" Maria Cristina award. For more information: So, The order of awards precedence in the Nationalist Army was: 1/Cruz laureada---------------------------------------Laureate cross of st. Ferdinand 2/ Medalla Militar--------------------------------------Military Medal 3/ Avance en la escala por meritos de Guerra-----Advancement in grade for combat merits 4/ Cruz de Guerra con Palmas----------------------War Cross with Palms 5/ idem sin palmas----------------------War Cross 6/ Cruz del merito militar (distintivo rojo)---------Military Merit cross red enamel (War merit) 7/ Citacion--------------------------------------------MID ??

The Star (This is a Breast Star, Normaly worn at the Left pocket or under it), is a directly descendent of the Maria Cristina order., But , being a New one non conected with the Monarchie, it bears some differences: is smaller in Diametre, the crow is the "open" style or Imperail crown favored by nationalist forces (General Franco), No Lys flowers (Borbonic) on the central "ecuson", instead they bear a Granate fruit (Reminiscents fronm the Catholic king conquest of the Moorish Kingdom of Granada, that ended the Spanish "reconquista" (re-conquest or expulsion of the arabs from spain after 800 yera of domination, in 1490) The Star is Called: War cross, (Cruz de Guerra) and has some Grades: Grand cross: With right shoulder band (Ligh Blue with central white stripe) and the Cross (greek) of oxidized silver with gold rim and with gilded central crown, and four swords at the angles (only the handles are visibles) - this cross is the same of the war cross for OR. badge-, pending from a bow and is intended for field officers (Blue ring with "MERITO EN CAMPA?A" on it; and red ring with the same lettering for junior officers and NCO) War cross (for field officers): As described above, with the central lettering "MERITO EN CAMAPA?A" (Campaign or field merit), on a Blue backgroundg. War cross for junior officers and NCO: As above but the lettering comes on a red background War cross for soldiers and Corporals: As described in the Grand cross, but being a breast ribbon (blue-white-blue) cross If the merits are nearly enough to have an advance (of grade) in the scale, or a the Military medal, but has not enough for them but the merits are superior that those for the War cross: The central part bears 2 gilded palms (as you can see at the pics)

Nice uniform. Is aTypical on regulation uniform of the Spanish Civil War: Cap (Gorra): Of a regulation (Darker shade of Khaki), and coarse tissue, with the stars of a Leutenant (Junior leutenant is called Alferez in the spanish army of the period), Two 6 pointed stars...The jacket (Guerrera) is of a bette quality light weight tissue, lighter and probably, privately purchased. It bears the Arm of service device emboidered at the lapels: Infantry. The Breeches (Pantalones de montar), are of the typical "Chickpea" (Garbanzo) spanish color. The field officer from Comandante (Mayor) to Coronel (Colonel) bears 8 points stars The general officers bears 4 pointed stars wit a Sword & batton device on it From 1 star (General de brigada-Brigadier general-) to 4 in Lozenge shape stars of the full general. The King is unique in bear 5 stars (Capitan general) regards Miguel
